A Time to Pray

Still time to enter the contest (or re-enter if you want, there are really no rules). It's going until the counter hits 10,000.

I have mentioned before that there is a young person in my life who is "in a bad way." This person is involved with drugs and alcohol, as well as various illegal activities.

Today in court, this youth that I love pleaded 'not guilty' to a number of charges and a trial date was set. In the time between now and court (before Christmas), said young person will be living with a parent and step-parent.

Please cover the parent(s) in prayer, that they will be able to do what is best for the whole family. Please pray for their marriage, which has been struggling for a long time (and this added stress will not make the struggle easier).

Please pray for the youth - for wisdom, protection, and GOOD friends.

Please pray for other family members who are all concerned, that we would be loving, supportive, and helpful. Pray that God shows us practical ways that we can help to make this situation a success.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. ~James 5:16

Thank-you...

  4. It is always so hard to watch someone you love go through trials - even if they are self induced.

    Keeping your loved one in prayer. Praying for the parents as well.
